Adi Shankara - Nirvana (Atma) Shatakam - A Meditation - Advaita

This famous stotra by Adi Shankaracharya has been formatted for meditation and reflection.
When a young boy of eight (Adi Shankaracharya) while wandering in Himalayas, he encountered a sage who asked him, who are you? The boy answered with these verses, which are known as ‘Nirvana Shatakam’ or ‘Atma Shatakam’
Music : Deva Premal - "Chidananda"

Thank-you:)

[@suryamitra2410]

This is a great channel, thank you!!! It would be nice if one day you could read the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, and perhaps some other works of Kashmir Shaivism. BTW Vijnana Bhairava tantra contains meditative instructions very similar to Dzogchen, sometimes even identical.

His teaching has saved me from heroin addiction. It was like I'd been touched by "God" when I heard his words in Sanskrit then the meaning in English.

[@russellmason5095]

This is inspiring. I am happy for you. I hope you continue on your new path. I have also been profoundly affected by this teaching and other teachings on here.

[@vasudev6960]

He was an incarnation of the lord of the word himself. You are sure to be saved just by listening or reading his words, of this, there is no doubt.

[@adamnaperty]

It`s incredible, just imagining an 8 year old small child, a jnani, saying these sacred, mature verses. A child of 8 being more mature than perhaps entire civilization at that time.

[@user-we6wi3rn1l]

Deva's accompaniment is wonderful

[@Brittle_buddha]

The fields of the soul become fertile with this pointing. Eternity blooms and multiplies within and without until all is one. Deliciously perfumed, beautiful and infinite

[@JimmyLovesMundo]

That was incredible. I Am... speechless.

[@depressionbeard9882]

This is such a crazy synchronicity for me that you upload this. I’ve just been memorizing and chanting an old Sanskrit version of this for a couple of weeks now and am currently learning the actual meaning of the text in English. So this video really comes in handy and is extremely helpful! Thank you 🍀🙏🕉

This is like chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven.....such comfort.

[@otterrivers3765]

It may interest some to know, the song at the beginning "Chitananda Rupam. Shivoham" means: "Joy of Consciousness is what I am. Shiva is my True Self". I'm pretty sure this and many other popular hymns were written or popularized by Adi Shankara. You can hear others like this in this very famous youtube video. Probably my favorite spiritual music. Just search "Craig Pruess Sacred Chants of Shiva". There is another really beautiful version of Shivoham there too. He's got a few other awesome collections of devotional hymns on youtube as well. I'm sure many of you have heard them already. But if not, I really recommend it.

[@SuperStargazer666]

I am a bit confused, how can Shiva be non-duality. If Shiva is non duality then what is Brahman. Is Shiva not a manifestation of Brahman? In which case, is Shiva not duality? Please can someone tell me?

[@Akash11898]

Shiva and brahman are names given by human. The eternal absolute reality can't be named. You call it shiva you call it brahman you call it superstargazer its still the same🙏😊😊😊
